Durable Ceramic Coatings to Safeguard Your Paint
At Steam Pro Detailing, we specialize in high-quality ceramic coatings that provide exceptional defense against the elements. Our advanced coatings create a protective barrier on your vehicle’s paint, shielding it from UV damage, dirt, road grime, and other weather elements that can degrade its finish or condition over time.
The Advantages of Ceramic Coating
Knoxville’s climate can be unpredictable, from hot summers to heavy rain. A ceramic coating is an excellent long-term solution to protect your car from these ever-changing conditions. For those really hot summer days, you can also get ceramic window tint to block out the heat and keep your interior cooler.
A ceramic coating functions similarly to wax or a sealant, but it offers significantly longer-lasting and more durable protection. While traditional waxes or sealants last up to six months, a properly maintained ceramic coating can last for several years, making it a superior choice for vehicle protection. A coating is typically applied after we’ve performed a level of paint correction to the vehicle.
Long-Term Protection: The coating acts as a strong barrier against contaminants, rain, and road grime, helping to preserve your vehicle’s paint and condition.
Water-Repelling Properties: The hydrophobic surface repels water, causing it to bead and roll off, making cleaning and maintenance easier.
Enhanced Gloss and Depth: Ceramic coatings fill microscopic imperfections in the paint, providing a deep, mirror-like finish that enhances your vehicle’s appearance.
Versatile Application: In addition to paint protection, ceramic coatings can be applied to glass, plastic trim, wheels, and even interior surfaces for complete coverage.
Our Ceramic Coating Process
Applying a ceramic coating is a precise and detailed process that requires patience and care. Rushing through it can lead to subpar results, affecting both the look and longevity of the coating. In contrast, applying a wax or sealant is much quicker and involves less effort.
Sealants can simply be wiped on and off with ease, but ceramic coatings require close attention to detail. Missing a spot can result in “high spots,” which will need to be polished out and reapplied to ensure a proper application. Taking the time to do it right makes all the difference.
Thorough Preparation: We start by deep-cleaning your vehicle, including wheel cleaning, a detailed wash, clay bar treatment, and iron decontamination, followed by a full drying process
Paint Polishing: Depending on your vehicle’s condition, we perform a polishing step. Some cars may need a multi-step correction to remove deep imperfections, while others may only need a light polish to refine the surface. This is highly dependent on your vehicle, the condition, and the goals you’d like to achieve.
Coating Application: After prepping the panels, we meticulously apply the ceramic coating, ensuring a smooth and even finish for long-term durability.
An important thing to note is as great as ceramic coatings are for long-lasting shine and durable protection, they can’t prevent rock chips or other debris from hitting and damaging your vehicle.
The next layer of protection that truly gives you the ultimate form of protection would be paint protection film (PPF).

“Brett did an incredible job on ceramic coating our dark grey 2021 Range Rover. He has incredible attention to detail! The vehicle’s color actually looks deeper after the paint correction and coating. It reflects like glass/mirror. I have a special order RR that will be arriving late July/early August - scheduling Brett to coat it will be the first call I make.” -Lance Stafford
“I don’t write many reviews but after my experience with Steam Pro Mobile Detailing today I needed to get my typing fingers back to work to give Brett the credit he deserves. I researched many companies when I wanted to get a ceramic coating on my new truck and after talking to four or five companies I decided on Steam Pro Mobile Detailing. I now know that I made the right choice in who I chose for this job. From the very beginning Brett was friendly, polite, and had the patience to answer all of my questions. The scheduling was a breeze and he followed up with me the day before the appointment and 30 minutes prior to arrival. I was lucky enough to be able to watch and see how much work actually went into the whole washing, polishing, clay bar, and eventually the ceramic sealing process. It was nice to see how detailed Brett was in all of these steps and the finished product was beyond my expectations. Can’t say enough about how much of a pleasure it was to do business with a genuinely nice and honest business owner like Brett. I highly recommend giving him a call if you are thinking of ceramic coatings or for any other car detailing needs.” - Ozzy TheKid

Ceramic Coating FAQs
How long will my ceramic coating last?
Longevity depends on storage and maintenance. A garage-kept vehicle will maintain its coating longer than one constantly exposed to harsh elements. Proper washing techniques and avoiding abrasive chemicals also extend its durability.
Does ceramic coating prevent scratches?
Ceramic coatings help resist minor scratches and swirls but do not protect against deep scratches, rock chips, or heavy impacts. For higher levels of protection, paint protection film (PPF) is recommended.
Is ceramic coating better than waxing?
Yes, ceramic coatings offer superior durability, longevity, and shine compared to traditional waxing. However, for work trucks or vehicles exposed to extreme conditions, a ceramic coating may not be the most practical solution.
Can I get ceramic coating on my wheels?
Absolutely! We can coat the face of the wheels (for an additional cost).
Will a ceramic coating fix my chipped paint?
No, ceramic coatings do not fill in paint chips or deep scratches. We can polish the scratches areas to make it look better, but in extreme cases, you’ll need to get it resprayed to get the paint back to its original condition.
How much does a ceramic coating cost?
Pricing depends on the vehicle’s size and the level of prep work required. Some vehicles can be coated in a single day, while others with extensive paint correction needs may take longer.
Does my car need a ceramic coating?
A ceramic coating is a great choice if you want to reduce the hassle of frequent waxing or sealing, make maintenance easier for you when you wash your car, or want to give it maximum gloss.
